Lightning Facts
Click here for more Summer Safety Tips

An average of 300 lightning injuries are reported each year.

Whether outside on land or water, lightning kills more American's than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods.

If you hear thunder, you may be close enough to be hit by lightning, even if the sky is clear.  Lightning can easily travel 10 miles from a storm. 

More than half of lightning deaths occur after the thunderstorm has passed or subsided.  After a storm has passed, the danger of lightning strikes remains for approximately 30 minutes.
